5 THE LEAT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 THE LEAT sales between November 2005 and November 2008 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the October 2008 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the November 2008 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE LEAT be worth now?

5 THE LEAT might now be worth an estimated £269,266.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.8%, between November 2008 and March 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 68.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE LEAT of £159,500 on 13th November 2008. For the value to have increased from £159,500 to £269,266 over the seventeen years and eight months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE LEAT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The November 2008 sale price of £159,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE LEAT has not materially changed since November 2008.
